At dusk, the setting sun spreads the last ray of afterglow and the sky is getting darker.

The smoke in the Chaisang camp was raising and the meat was fragrant. Tens of thousands of soldiers were all having dinner.

In the water camp on the west side, a soldier who was fed to the top was silently boarding his own warships, as if he was about to board the ship to the west.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the pottery merchant rode his horse up to the pier. His appearance immediately caused a commotion among the soldiers.

On the shore, the general with a national face, saw the arrival of the King of Wei, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and said calmly: "Greetings to the King."

The Tao Shang glanced at the general, gently stroked his hand to signal him to flatten, jumped off the horse, stroked his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Your mission is related to whether you can delay the attack of the Wu army. Going farther, it is directly related to my plan to destroy Wu. I entrust this burden on your shoulders. Are you sure?"

The general with a national face had no passion, but just bowed and said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as Military Advisor Zhang's strategy is not seen through by the enemy, he will definitely succeed in his final journey."

Although his words were not excited and his tone was very plain, there was a sense of confidence in his heart, and the Taoist merchant felt deeply.

"Okay, with your words, I will be relieved by a hundred times." Tao Shang patted his shoulder and said with a bold smile: "I am in Chaisang City, waiting for the good news that you have accomplished!"

"Then we'll go." The general with a national face did not say much, and bowed and boarded the warship.

The flag was shaken, and more than 40 troop transport ships set sail, leaving the Xishui Village in Chaisang, and with the protection of the night, they went up Jiangxi and towards the upstream Lukou.

...

Three days later, the sun rises eastward.

When the sky was about to be bright, there were rapid gongs inside and outside the Chaisang City, breaking the tranquility of the morning.

The awakened soldiers were soon awakened. The officers ran back and forth, shouting loudly, urging the soldiers out of the tent. The soldiers of the Wei army in their sleep jumped up from the warm bed and almost instinctively quickly put on their clothes and armor.

In the Dongshui Camp, the sound of footsteps, the friction of weapons, and the rapid breathing sounds were mixed together, making people unconsciously tense up and immersed in a tense atmosphere.

Thousands of soldiers emerged from the tent, holding weapons, and quickly rushed towards their respective posts in an orderly manner.

Ten thousand Wei soldiers were arranged along the water camp in less than a quarter of an hour to form a defensive force.

Because the naval army led by Ma Yuan was mostly concentrated in the Iron Lock Formation, there were less than a thousand naval soldiers in the water camp, and they were led by Gan Ning.

As for the ten thousand soldiers, most of them were the original cavalry. At this time, they could only dismount for a while and act as infantry soldiers.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the pottery merchant rode his horse like the wind, crossing the entire water camp, heading straight to the small slope on the shore, looking at the distance with a calm expression, staring at the downstream direction.

Less than half an hour ago, the information sent back by the sentry ship was on the downstream Pengze line, and the huge naval army of the Wu army had set sail, advancing against the current, rushing towards Chaisang.

According to the prior judgment, the direction of the enemy's attack this time will be concentrated in the water camp in the east of the city, so the pottery merchant was prepared and transferred most of the cavalry to the water camp and dismounted the horse and turned it into infantry to defend.

The potter had a premonition that today would be a fierce defensive battle.

He and his ten thousand dismounted cavalry, less than one thousand naval troops, would face nearly 55,000 Wu soldiers and five times the enemy's attack.

The enemy was strong, but the pottery merchant had no fear at all. The shore of the shore horse, which looked so beautiful, did not take the approaching enemy seriously at all.

Looking around, the soldiers of the Great Wei, who had been through many battles along the coast, were all calm and composed, without any intention of fearing the enemy.

The Chaisang Dongshui Camp was silent and unswerving, and everyone's eyes were staring downstream.

When the first sunrise pierced the river fog, countless black ship shadows began to appear in the mist, slowly moving towards Chaisang.

The hazy shadow, like countless ghost ships, is approaching quietly, with a bit of weirdness in the silence.

The Wei soldiers became more and more energetic, and they all held the weapons in their hands tightly, and their blood was already igniting quietly.

The sky was bright and the sun shone out thousands of rays of rays of rays, like countless golden arrows, finally completely tore the mist shrouded on the river.

Finally, the figure of the enemy was completely reflected in the field of vision.

In my eyes, I saw thousands of warships coming over the sky, countless white sails rolling like clouds, and the momentum surged.

At this time, the Wei soldiers finally took a sip of air conditioning and their spirits began to be slightly shaken.

Tao Shang's sword eyebrows also condensed slightly.

This time, Sun Ce once again raised his troops to attack his water camp.

"Sun Ce, are you here to have a life-threatening life again? Very good. Let me see, what can you do to capture my water camp!"

Tao Shang took a deep breath, raised the sword in his hand gently, and shouted loudly: "The whole army calmed down and prepared to face the enemy!"

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and the flag was shaken, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the three armies was immediately ignited.

On the line of the trestle, the crossbowmen commanded by Houyi pulled the bowstring apart, and thousands of sharp arrows slowly aimed at the approaching enemy ships. Nearly a hundred thunder cannons were also loaded with stone bullets and ready to launch them.

On the surface of the river, Sun Ce, wearing silver armor, stood proudly on the flagship of the tower ship, with a cold gaze as cold as ice, staring at the Wei army lined up on the shore.

In his heart, the anger of revenge had already ignited, and he could not wait to cleanse the shame of losing to the pottery.

Huan glanced at his huge fleet and looked at his soldiers who were five times more confident than the enemy. Sun Ce's face became even more confident.

"Tao Shang, this time, I will be head-on on the river bank, so that any conspiracy and tricks of you will disappear!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Sun Ce pointed a sudden silver spear in his hand and shouted: "The whole army will attack, and I will plow the enemy camp and kill the enemy!"

Bang bang bang!

In the Wu fleet, the sound of war drums soared into the sky, and the sound of trumpets overshadowed the rolling river waves.

The flagship flag was shaken, with nearly a thousand large and small warships, so the huge array of ships formed was calm on the river surface and began to approach the Chaisang Dongshui Camp on the south bank.

Sun Ce had already obtained detailed information and knew that the Tao merchant sent 20,000 main infantry to Jiangling to deal with the Shu army. A few days ago, he also transferred nearly 3,000 more troops upstream, and most of the Wei navy were gathered in the Iron Lock Formation.

This means that the pottery could only let the ten thousand cavalry dismount and act as infantry to resist his attack.
